flowers on tables
beautiful places and rambling thoughts
dark books and burning candles
morning sun rays wake the day

Excerpt
She was like a woman of Leonardo da Vinci’s, whom we love not so much for herself as for the things that she will not tell us.
from A Room with a View by E.M. Forster, 1908
Memory
his memory
crawls into
her mind,
winding and binding
and finding a way
into her stilled
and hollow heart
30 years on
you were then, the age i am now–
i think about this in the dark and

your hair, fully silver–
of course when i meet you in my dream later that night,
we are as we were–
and i am desired once again
